Course has been adjusted for remote participation in 2021. Some on-campus activities are available. Attendance at these where possible is encouraged.
The course will describe the theory and practice of deep Neural Networks, otherwise known as Deep Learning, with a particular emphasis on their use in Image Processing and Computer Vision.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Describe and apply the theory of convolutional neural networks and the universal approximation theorem.
- Apply the theory of training a convolutional neural network.
- Write programs to design, train and test neural networks to solve problems in computer vision.
- Competently apply programming and software tools to write programs to solve realistic problems of computer vision using deep neural networks.
- Understand the principals of testing and evaluating the performance of deep neural networks, and apply these principals in practice.
- Research an area of computer vision and apply deep neural network methods to a problem in that area.
